CT does fall into BR - however, if you are upto date with your CT, as I was, then the OR asks the council for the money same as they claim back any income tax you have paid to HMRC. The BR doesn't get to keep the money.JaneDoeJohnDoe wrote: »Council tax isn't zero'd if BR. For some reason my water bill was, but not gas/elec. Also, how can you actually afford Sky if considering going BR?! I'm surprised the OR didn't pick that up.
With utilities - it depends on whether you owe the utility company anything - if you don't have an outstanding balance - you just keep on paying your DD as normal.
I have a package with a cable supplier - it is my landline phone and internet with a bit of TV thrown in - why should I not be able to afford that? If you are suggesting everyone who has sky has a 42" plasma TV and a full monty movies and sports package - that's rather a tired stereotype don't you think?0
